It has just been confirmed that our (this) sorry honorable speak of house of representatives Mrs Olubunmi Etteh has stepped aside while a speaker pro-tempore from the north central won by over 200 votes.
The stage is now set for the show to begin,

Good riddance to bad rubbish! An extremely shameless, sit tight, power loving and most dishonourable speaker. If found guilty, EFCC or ICPC must prosecute her.

BBC NEWS Nigeria speaker goes in graft row The speaker of Nigeria's House of Representatives, Patricia Etteh, has resigned after weeks of pressure. An inquiry found her guilty of breaking house rules in awarding contracts worth $5m to refurbish houses and buy cars. But she had repeatedly refused to step aside and allow a temporary speaker to chair a debate into the findings. Parliamentary business, including a debate on Nigeria's budget, has been held up for weeks as a result of the affair that has gripped the nation. Heated Mrs Etteh, a former beautician and ruling party member, is accused of irregularities in spending $5m of government money to buy 12 cars and renovate two official residences - her own and that of a deputy. She had consistently denied any wrongdoing but opponents argued forcibly that she should step aside temporarily to allow someone else to chair the debate into the findings of the panel of inquiry, chaired by David Iroko.
The row became so heated that a brawl broke out in parliament earlier this month, during which one pro-Etteh MP collapsed and died. Mrs Etteh's aides told the BBC's Abuja Bureau that th e speaker had decided that she could no longer continue and that her deputy, Babangida Nguroje, has also resigned.
The lower house elected Terngu Tsegba, an opposition politician from central Benue State, as the acting speaker. Mr Tsegba will now preside over the Iroko debate, which is expected to take up to a week. Parliament will then have to elect a permanent replacement to Mrs Etteh.Story from BBC NEWS: http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/africa/7069654.stmQuestion- Did she resign permanently or did she step aside for the report to be considered? Two conflicting reports here need clarification! |

It is really a shame that in a country of 140million people, people like this dishonourable Patricia Etteh (A common Hairdresser) can still hold us to ransom in making a morkery of democracy and the upper legislative house of the Federation. My heart bleed for Nigeria and i wish we will be able to learn from this ugly and shameful exprience.

For a diploma holder in hairdressing to have became the speaker of Nigeria's house or reps is a scam naturally.In a country where we have thousands of professors,it''s a shame!For the reps to have allowed a taciturn tyrant like Obasanjo to install her in their midst,they are zombies.For a woman like Ettheh to have desired a 98 million naira massaging machine for her flabby breast,it's utter madness.This is a country where millions goes to bed hungry!She wants to massage her stinking skin.God will punish her for trying to play on the intelligence of Nigerian. she resign dishonourably.Opening her laps for Obasanjo now won't help her.It only helped her before May,2007.I love women,but i hate Etteh with passion.

Re: Tinubu Charged For Operating 16 Foreign Accounts. « #39 on: April 25, 2007, 05:37 PM » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have been saying ,what ever process brings in Yar'adua in as president fair or not.I do not believe the man will change overnight at his age just as Obj was unable to change his stubborn ,undemocratic character. What I see coming in the next few years for highly corrupt politicians is a very tough time indeed.Look at Abubakar Audu who thought he was free,or is it almighty Tafa Balogun. Ibori, Odili, Attah and co have it coming,let the election wahala settle first. This is is just as they say Rome was not built in a day. The fight to rid Nigeria of blatant corruption must start somewhere, SELECTIVE or not I just brought up a comment I made on this forum in the past. I do not know if many people appreciate the silent revolution going on in Nigeria.Some one said the president has done nothing in 5 months. My dear Nigerians ,the fruit of these changes will be that people will think twice before transferring our money into their private accounts and we will gradually see the fruits in terms of good power supply, roads etc. We as a people must resolve not to worship money especially those who steal from our common purse and stop being fooled. Look at the thief Ibori running around now trying to keep his stolen money. If things continue the way they are ,even Baba and Evil genius will plea bargain (return the money or go to jail) in a few years. We must make inintegritynd dignity part of our culture |

A QUESTION: WHY DO NIGERIANS PREFER TO BE PUSHED OUT OF OFFICE INSTEAD OF RESIGNING?
Nigerian women should be embarrassed on her behalf!
But Nigerian Leaders don't have shame at all - anything can be done for money! That's why i still respect Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala.

Unbelievable, I thought her bid daddy obj is still in control and can keep her on sit for as long as he wants. Can we now say power pass power? But I think she is only being made the scape goat, I wonder who will be the next to be humiliated out of that house, they all need to be exposed and expelled just like the most ugly politician ever (madam etteh, may your soul rest in obj bossom forever)
Bravo Zulu to all Nigerians on this development, this presents a new look at nija in the western world.
Congrats to all,

AM glad that Nigeria eyes have opened  to know that if you say NO and shout it loud enof you would have some people support you and some bow down like she did! i actually knew she would eventually bow because the pressure was way out of the "house of rep's " when was the question. Thank God ! let hope for no part 2  Forward ever Nigeria! it must to better! |

Honestly, there is nothing bad in gunning down people like this.
Caught commiting criminal or past crime revealed and yet she kept arguing, why?
I think snippers should be recruited by some organisation to put people like this to rest.
